Human beings: ‘Plague species’

Saying homo sapiens are a “plague species,” the London Zoo opened a new exhibit today featuring eight humans frolicking around in nothing but mock fig leaves.

The “Human Zoo” is intended to show the basic nature of human beings, reported Agence France-Presse.

“We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man’s place in the planet’s ecosystem,” a statement from London Zoo said.

According to the report, the scantily clad volunteers will be treated as animals and kept amused at the central London zoo facility with games and music. They will go home each night after the zoo closes during Britain’s bank holiday weekend.
